The OACP kicked-off its annual Lock It OR Lose It crime prevention initiative at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto on December 7. The Lock It OR Lose It campaign encourages drivers and passengers to take precautions in protecting their vehicles and contents from theft, particularly during the holiday season.
Chief Kimberley Greenwood, the OACP's First Vice-President and Chief of the Barrie Police Service, kicked-off the initiative by urging motorists to lock their vehicles and keep valuables such as GPS and mobile devices, laptops, shopping bags, money and credit cards out-of-sight.
During the Lock It OR Lose It campaign, police officers, auxiliary officers, and crime prevention personnel examine parked vehicles to confirm they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. A small notice is placed on vehicles advising what safety precautions were neglected and offer simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratulate drivers who have secured their vehicle. Police will use Lock It OR Lose It (LIOLI) notices throughout the year as part of their on-going crime prevention efforts.
Police services who requested new LIOLI flyers have or should shortly receive their allotment of flyers. A digital version of the flyer is also available. Please contact the OACP office for more information.
The OACP thanks the Accident Support Services International, Arrive Alive/Drive Sober, Insurance Bureau of Canada, Mac's Convenience Stores, Smart Serve Ontario, and Trace™ for supporting Lock It OR Lose It crime prevention initiatives across Ontario.

FanDuel NFL Divisional Round Strategy
We've been gone since the holidays, but with good reason (we will get to this in a later article). However, we are back with a vengeance and will have nearly daily NBA, PGA, and CBB articles, and are going to start covering EPL sometime later this month.
FanDuel Divisional Round Quarterbacks
Cant Miss: Aaron Rodgers ($8,800)
Rodgers has been on a historic run over the final two months of the NFL season, and it will continue in Dallas this week. We like the Packers to win a high scoring road playoff game this week, even without Jordy Nelson. The Cowboys defense has relied on offensive ball control and a conservative scheme to slow down opponent passing attacks, but still somehow managed to rank 26th against the pass this season. There is no way Rodgers doesn't hit at least 2x value this week and has legitimate 4x upside despite his position-high $8,800 salary
Favorite Bargain: Dak Prescott ($7,700)
We had anticipated giving Alex Smith as our can't miss QB play, but the weather forecast in KC looks extremely rough for Sunday (90% chance of freezing rain). Prescott faces a New England secondary that is not only the worst remaining in these playoffs, but one of the worst in the NFL. The Packers also feature a top 10 run defense that should be able to at least slow down Elliott and force Prescott to throw the ball. In their last meeting, Prescott through for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns in Green Bay reaching 2.5x value on just 18 pass completions and in a game where he ran for just 6 yards. He's the safest bet of this group to hit 2.5x+ value in the divisional round.
FanDuel Divisional Round Running Backs
Cant Miss: LeVeon Bell ($9,900)
We should see a ton of LeVeon Bell this Sunday if the forecast in KC holds true. He's somehow managed to average just under 29 FanDuel PPG over the past two weeks despite only catching a total of 5 passes. If the weather and KC slow down AB in the divisional round, we could see a week where Bell carries the ball 20+ times and catches 5+ passes. In games where Bell hits those two numbers, he averages over 26 fantasy points per game.
Favorite Bargain: CJ Prosise ($4,500)
Prosise looks like he will likely be back for this divisional round playoff game and the matchup lines up considerably better for him than it does Rawls. The Falcons only give up 82 rushing YPG to opposing running backs and only .82 rushing touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. On the flip side, they give up an NFL-high in RB receptions, receiving yards, and RB receiving touchdowns. Given his limited sample size this season, Prosise is clearly a risky play, but if he does get the bulk of third down work he will likely see 4+ receptions with a strong likelihood of breaking a big play.
FanDuel Divisional Round Wide Receivers
Cant Miss: Julio Jones ($8,300)
For all the hype the Julio Jones/Richard Sherman matchup is getting, there are two ways it plays out and both are positive for Jones. Sherman flat out can't cover on the right hand side of the defense, his splits are atrocious. As long as Julio is in the slot or on the left hand side of the formation, the Falcons will be able to create a matchup they can exploit. In their week 6 matchup, Jones caught 3 of 5 targets for 40 yards and an interception vs Sherman, and caught 4/4 for 99 yards and 1 touchdown against everyone else.
Favorite Bargain: Jeremy Maclin ($5,400)
There are several names in the $4,700-$5,500 range that are worth a look: Paul Richardson, Michael Floyd, Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, and Jeremy Maclin. Of the group, clearly Maclin and Sanu are the safest plays, while Richardson and Gabriel may have slightly higher upside given their big play ability. Given Maclin had a week off to help get his groin injury right, we expect his usage to jump back up for the divisional matchup, and while Pittsburgh's secondary improved over the second half of the season, they still aren't elite and will likely be paying plenty of attention to Ty Hill and Travis Kelce.
FanDuel Divisional Round Tight Ends
Cant Miss: Jimmy Graham ($6,800)
Anytime you can get a top five positional matchup in the second round of the playoffs, you have to take advantage. Graham faces a Falcons secondary that gives up the 5th most fantasy PPG to opposing tight ends and the fourth most receiving YPG to the position. In fact, the vulnerability of this Falcons defense is defending the tight and running back positions in the passing game.
Favorite Bargain: Jared Cook ($5,400)
Speaking of primo matchups, Cook faces a Cowboys secondary that allows the most FanDuel PPG to opposing tight ends, and Cook would likely see his already expanded role grow even more if Nelson were to miss this week. Looking at his game log, Cook has received 8 or more targets in 3 of his last four games, which translates to roughly a 12 point FanDuel performance against the Cowboys defense.
FanDuel Divisional Round Defense
Cant Miss: New England ($5,100)
The Pats are our top defensive play for the divisional round, and the Falcons come in as a somewhat distant second. New England enters the playoffs playing their best defensive football of the season, and actually scored 8+ points in 5 of their last six games.

As all people unburdened by sense and financial responsibility know, the best way to alleviate post-holiday blues is to book your next one. When I returned from a few months in Korea in November, one of the first things I did was scour Skyscanner while WhatsApping my dear pal, Ally T. He mentioned he was going to LA so guess what? I'M COMING WITH. If I recall correctly, I don't think I even asked if it was ok to crash his holiday, but there we have it. If you're going west (or indeed any which way), you're taking me with you.
So hello from the sky, ladies and gents: I'm writing this two G&Ts down and 51,000 feet up on Virgin Atlantic's LAX-LHR route. Incidentally, Virgin have got this whole 'brand experience' lark nailed. I'm in economy right now (heaven FORBID the lady travels in such conditions) but the bog standard Virgin experience easily beats the first class leg of my trip (San Francisco to LA, American Airlines). Keep the Bombay Sapphire flowing, Dario; I'll require more than one consolatory tipple as my Californian road trip comes to a close.
And what a bloody road trip. Hardly the most original contribution to my bucket list but certainly one of the most long-standing, driving along the Californian coastline has been on my mind ever since I paid a fleeting visit to San Francisco as a teen. I've always said SF is the only place I would want to live 'permanently' (whatever that means) outside the UK but after the past two weeks, I'll extend that statewide.
If my surroundings and travel buddies weren't quite so photogenic, perhaps I wouldn't have had to sift through well over 1,000 photos and hours of video footage. With so much to show and tell, I'm going to split this blog into three parts: LA, the bit in the middle, and San Francisco.
Also, here I am with 'vodka sauce'. Which is about as tempting as my facial expression.
My Los Angeles diary deserves a preamble.
I've heard LA is ballachingly widespread. I've assumed it's vacuously obsessed with celebrity culture. I've been told it is, for want of a better phrase, a bit of a shit hole. To be honest, I approached it as a sort of layover on my way to Big Sur, the jagged coastline that's more 'my scene'. I'm a coastal, country girl at heart, you see, and no amount of Kardashian bullshit will change that.
As with so many prejudgements, I couldn't have been more wrong. I loved LA. It was my favourite destination on this little trip and now, it's second only to London on cities I'd like to call 'home'. It's got sunshine, avocados and so many beautiful places to go hiking. Everyone I met was relaxed and friendly (without the obligatory smell of weed that came with San Francisco's friendliest inhabitants). It has all the buzz and none of the stress of a world city. Permanently or for a holiday, I'd go back in a heartbeat. And so the quest for a visa begins.
I jest. I think.
I was only there for two days, so forgive my cheesy, touristy agenda. You know the drill: day one, walk of fame. Day two, Hollywood sign. All the former served to do was highlight how few icons and celebrities I give a monkeys' about (only David Bowie was enough to get me excited about a star on the floor. You can read more about my love for Ziggy Stardust here). The latter was a big sign.
When I'm new to a city, one of my favourite things to do is choose a neighbourhood, wander around it with my camera, and sit in a coffee shop for hours. I'd say that people-watching gives me more than a Lonely Planet guide ever could. I did a tiny bit of that in LA; first in La Brea and second, near our hostel in Hollywood. Incidentally, it was perfectly adequate and I'd recommend it, as long as you're happy in shared rooms.
While in La Brea, we came across a large farmers' market. I'd definitely go back. Ally wasn't a fan of my carrot crisps but yay, all the more pretentious foodstuffs for me! And in Hollywood, we stumbled across a very newly-opened coffee shop and bar, Demitasse. So new, in fact, it was but three days old when I first wrapped my lips around its unforgettable Kyoto Iced Coffee. That place was so good it deserves its own blogpost, so eyes peeled for that.
I always struggle to articulate what it is that draws me to certain cities and pushes me from others. Seoul is my spirit city (as I ramble on about here); but I think LA could be a second home. It can't be the sunshine; everywhere outside London has good weather. It's not the iconography; I could take it or leave it. I think it's more to do with the juxtapositions. The downtown buzz and the hillside hiking; the burger subculture* and the healthy-healthy lifestyle; the creativity and the ruthless ambition.
*for which Umami Burger is at the helm. It's a delight.
To borrow words from Billy Connolly, "I love Los Angeles. It reinvents itself every two days." Well, I'm non-committal and a walking contradiction, so my hometown needs to have multiple personalities. LA, when it's over between London and me*, you could well be The One.
*Not for a long while. This shit's serious.
Next up: part 1a, all about the delectable Demitasse Coffee, Hollywood!
I am so with you – people watching is the absolute best way to immerse yourself in a new town / city / alleyway whatevs 😉
Sounds like you had such a fun trip! I'm visiting most of these places at the end of March and I can't wait. Fingers crossed I'll enjoy LA as much as you clearly did 🙂
Wow how cool – I SO want to visit LA one day! Thanks for joining Travel Linkup!
We were the same as you – stopped in LA expecting to hate it, but loved it! Maybe it's one of those cities you have to go with low expectations…
Ps. never apologise for touristing, there's a reason the places are iconic (except if you're stood right in front of people trying to get off an escalator #pettouristpeeve
[…] After a brief dalliance with Los Angeles on the first step of our California road trip, the three of us bundled ourselves up in the Toyota Yaris (RIP, dreams of winding around California's snake-like coastline in a stretch Hummer) and started to make the long, slow journey up to San Francisco. Except it wasn't long and slow; we didn't stay anywhere longer than 36 hours and by Californian standards*, that's lightning speed. So to amend, off we hurried to Malibu, after hearing tales of its tasty, tasty seafood. […]

666 Mind Control: Past, Present and Future
The 666 Surveillance System
Revelation 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).
Introduction (Please read this if it is your first time with this section. It continues to a full teaching article.)
There is not a more spine-chilling chapter in the entire Bible than Revelation chapter 13. This chapter describes the rise to power of a demoniacally inspired world dictator, similar in nature to Adolph Hitler. He is called "the Beast", but better known as the Anti-Christ. He uses a world financial system to control the people, as no one can buy or sell unless they are linked by a mark with the number 666 to this system. Thus this mark in the body is known as the "Mark of the Beast." (Continued see: The 666 Surveillance System)
Although the Bible limits the "Mark" to economics, the current rapid advancement of technology shows that it is going beyond economics to a total world-wide surveillance system; thus, the "666 Surveillance System." The Bible states that once a person receives the 666 Mark, he is locked into it and cannot escape. This person is eternally doomed. I believe that part of this system is mind-control. Once a person joins, the mind is seared and cannot escape; thus, the perfect "man/mouse trap".
This blog keeps the reader on the cutting edge technology creating the conditions for fulfilling the "666 Surveillance System". I have identified certain technologies that are needed to bring this system to pass. These technological advancements are reported under headings, so the reader is kept on the cutting edge of developments and can see where it is all heading. These headings include: Cashless Society, The Mind, E-Tattoos/Mark of the Beast, Total Surveillance, and High Technology.
This blog is the complement to the "Image of the Beast" which focuses on man's quest to transform creation, and to become "as gods" by "directing human evolution" using transhumanism.
Remember, that this system is in place immediately prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It really does appear that His coming is not that far off. Are you ready to meet Him?
This posting will keep you on the cutting-edge of mind control technology. Mind control is one of the most crucial components of the Beast 666 Surveillance System. It became an important part of government research with the Nazis, then moved to other Western nations, including Britain with the Tavistock Institute, and to the US through the CIA program MK-Ultra. That branched into Monarch Mind Control Programming (See below). All of these programs had their roots in the occult. But it has become widespread and has gone far beyond these initial origins. Today it is very sophisticated and seeks to reach masses of people, not merely experimental victims.
The purpose is obvious for anyone familiar with where we're headed as a society, and for those aware of what the Bible says will control the earth during the final days before the return of Christ. It has become so ubiquitous that most people don't even realize they're being subjected to it at some level, but it's occurring through media and in many other ways. Yet it just seems to be background noise for those who aren't actively seeking to understand why everything is changing, and growing darker and more chaotic, by the day.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Some of the articles below deal with what MK-Ultra and Monarch programming are, how they work, what techniques were used, and what the result of that programming is. Other articles deal with the societal implications and why it is occurring. They also talk about more recent techniques. Finally, there are articles on the most recent research which cover techniques such as mind reading, computer-brain interfaces, etc.
Although much of this is happening under the radar, information about it is available to anyone who seeks it. There's more than enough out there, if you want to know how far along this path we are, and where we're headed. We should become familiar with all of this because we're in a spiritual war, and if we understand the tools and methods being used against us, we're in a better position to resist them, and to help others do so. Once we understand all of this, the best weapon we have is the mind of Christ – by renewing our own minds through His Word, we'll be able to stand against it, no matter how sophisticated 666 mind control becomes.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Mind Control
"American Ultra": Another Attempt at Making MKULTRA Cool (MK-Ultra is the original CIA mind control program.)
"The movie American Ultra is based on the real life CIA project MKULTRA, which aims to create mind controlled slaves. While this premise is horrific, the movie nevertheless portrays the CIA and mind control as something that is cool and even "rebellious". It is yet another attempt at making mind control cool by mass media.
American Ultra is an odd movie. While the story revolves around the horrific experiments the CIA conducts on its own population, it is told in a humorous matter, turning the whole subject into a joke. Not only that, the movie portrays CIA mind control as something that is cool and edgy – although it is the exact opposite of all of these things.
Project MKULTRA – the CIA's mind control program – was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects. Although the program is officially said to have been halted, some whistleblowers claim that the program secretly carried on using other names such as Monarch Mind control.
As you can see, CIA mind control is not cool at all. In fact, it is one of the most devious, horrific programs ever conceived. Based on sexual abuse, trauma, torture, confinement, intoxication, hypnotism, brainwashing and other devious methods, mind control literally destroys the life of the slave at the hands of cold, heartless sadistic handlers. The slaves are then programmed to perform various tasks such as becoming sex slaves, drug mules or, like in the case of American Ultra, trained killers. In Monarch mind control terms, "killer programming" is referred to as Delta Programming."
Origins and Techniques of Monarch Mind Control This is a very thorough article which discusses the techniques and results of Monarch Mind Control. It is becoming very widespread, especially among the elite and celebrity cultures, so that those under control can be used as instruments in programming the masses to accept the coming 666 System.
"Monarch Programming is a method of mind control used by numerous organizations for covert purposes. It is a continuation of project MK-ULTRA, a mind-control program developed by the CIA, and tested on the military and civilians. The methods are astonishingly sadistic (its entire purpose is to traumatize the victim) and the expected results are horrifying: The creation of a mind-controlled slave who can be triggered at anytime to perform any action required by the handler. While mass media ignores this issue, over 2 million Americans have gone through the horrors of this program.
Monarch programming is a mind-control technique comprising elements of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). It utilizes a combination of psychology, neuroscience and occult rituals to create within the slaves an alter persona that can be triggered and programmed by the handlers. Monarch slaves are used by several organizations connected with the world elite in fields such as the military, sex slavery and the entertainment industry. This article will look at the origins of Monarch programming, its techniques and its symbolism.
Throughout the course of history, several accounts have been recorded describing rituals and practices resembling mind control. One of the earliest writings giving reference to the use of occultism to manipulate the mind can be found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. It is a compilation of rituals, heavily studied by today's secret societies, which describes methods of torture and intimidation (to create trauma), the use of potions (drugs) and the casting of spells (hypnotism), ultimately resulting in the total enslavement of the initiate. Other events ascribed to black magic, sorcery and demon possession (where the victim is animated by an outside force) are also ancestors of Monarch programming.
It is, however, during the 20th century that mind control became a science in the modern sense of the term, where thousands of subjects have been systematically observed, documented and experimented on. One of the first methodical studies on trauma-based mind control were conducted by Josef Mengele, a physician working in Nazi concentration camps."
MK-ULTRA TERROR: NOW PLAYING AT THE GLOBAL VILLAGE THEATRE This excellent analysis by Paul McGuire explains the history of using terror to institute control, and the manipulation of the public through media, destruction of the family and the attack on Judeo-Christian values in the US. It reveals the game plan being used and the ultimate goals, to implement a 666 System, and how mind control is a large part of the agenda.
"What we are seeing on the stage of this global theatre is the threat of terrorism being used to radically restructure the European Union into a police state…a police state that the European people are voluntarily crying out for. This is not an attempt to disparage the Europeans, but they have collectively been indoctrinated with socialism for the last 50 years. The European people have been socially engineered to see the government as their God, father, and protector. They are no longer capable of perceiving themselves a people who could be armed and protect themselves from terrorist attacks. They have become like sheep and Americans are also on their way to becoming sheep.
America is the last holdout in the world of a people who believe in God, the American "can do" attitude, and the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the American way of life. Most Americans believe they have the Constitutional right to bear arms to defend themselves. As we can see from the above words of Lenin, this stands in the way of a World Socialist Government, which will eventually become a World Communist Government of the United Nations. So how do you create a revolutionary situation to radically change the beliefs of the American people? You use things like propaganda, social engineering, scientific mind control, psychological shock or trauma, drugs, and manufactured crisis.
Aldous Huxley wrote about this when he used the term Scientific Dictatorship and Brzezinski talked about the Technocratic Elite using psychotronic weapons on the masses. After World War II, the Dulles brothers, financed by Rockefeller, brought into the United States over 10,000 rocket and mind control scientists in what was called Operation Paper Clip. The Nazis had developed a scientific method of mind control using the drug LSD along with pain and hypnosis to program people into becoming "Manchurian Candidates." This program was known as MK-ULTRA and it was used on tens of thousands of unsuspecting Americans. It also was used in conjunction with the British Tavistock Institute in artificially creating the sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll counter culture which was designed to destroy Judeo-Christian American values and the family unit.
You may doubt the existence of MK-ULTRA, but your children are being introduced to it subliminally. Simply watch the new movie Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2, based on the novel by Suzanne Collins, who lives in Sandy Hook/Newtown, Connecticut."
Digitized Mind/ Computer Brain/ Mind Control
Bridging the Bio-Electronic Divide
"A new DARPA program aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world. The interface would serve as a translator, converting between the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology. The goal is to achieve this communications link in a biocompatible device no larger than one cubic centimeter in size, roughly the volume of two nickels stacked back to back.
The program, Neural Engineering System Design (NESD), stands to dramatically enhance research capabilities in neurotechnology and provide a foundation for new therapies.
"Today's best brain-computer interface systems are like two supercomputers trying to talk to each other using an old 300-baud modem," said Phillip Alvelda, the NESD program manager. "Imagine what will become possible when we upgrade our tools to really open the channel between the human brain and modern electronics."
DARPA Launches New Program to Connect Brains to Computers with Implantable Chip
"For additional background to the latest press release from DARPA…I encourage you to read the following selection of linked articles where I discuss the scope and chronology of what is being studied. Therein, you will find that the U.S. BRAIN Initiative and its European counterpart, the Human Brain Project, are not spending multi-billions of dollars on neuroscience research simply to help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and organic brain dysfunction. It is, perhaps first and foremost, a military endeavor that has wide ramifications if even 1/10th of what is being studied comes to fruition. In short, it's more about mind control than it is about brain restoration and improvement. Please keep this in mind when you read DARPA's emphasis on "new therapies."

New Technique Allows Scientists to Read Minds at Nearly the Speed of Thought
"An experiment by University of Washington researchers is setting the stage for advances in mind reading technology. Using brain implants and sophisticated software, researchers can now predict what their subjects are seeing with startling speed and accuracy.
The ability to view a two-dimensional image on a page or computer screen, and then transform that image into something our minds can immediately recognize, is a neurological process that remains mysterious to scientists. To learn more about how our brains perform this task—and to see if computers can collect and predict what a person is seeing in real time—a research team…demonstrated that it's possible to decode human brain signals at nearly the speed of perception.
The patients were shown a random sequence of pictures—images of human faces, houses, and blank gray screens—on computer monitors in brief 400 millisecond intervals. Their specific task was to watch for an image of an upside-down house.
As the images flickered on the screen, a computer sampled and digitized the incoming brain signals at a rate of 1,000 times per second. This resolution allowed the software to determine which combination of electrode locations and signals correlated best to what the patients were seeing.
After training the software, researchers exposed the patients to an entirely new set of pictures. Without previous exposure to these new images, the computer was able to predict with 96 percent accuracy when a test subject was seeing a house, a face, or a grey screen. And it did so at nearly the speed of perception."
Scientists decode brain signals to recognize images in real time
"Using electrodes implanted in the temporal lobes of seven awake epilepsy patients, University of Washington scientists have decoded brain signals (representing images) at nearly the speed of perception for the first time* — enabling the scientists to predict in real time which images of faces and houses the patients were viewing and when, and with better than 95 percent accuracy.
"We were trying to understand, first, how the human brain perceives objects in the temporal lobe, and second, how one could use a computer to extract and predict what someone is seeing in real time," explained University of Washington computational neuroscientist Rajesh Rao…
The study involved patients receiving care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Each had been experiencing epileptic seizures not relieved by medication, so each had undergone surgery in which their brains' temporal lobes were implanted (temporarily, for about a week) with electrodes to try to locate the seizures' focal points."
God has warned in the Bible where this world system is heading. The 666 Surveillance System is now on the fast track. There is no stopping it. Are you going to be with Jesus Christ and eternal life, or are you going to take the "666 Mark" and be eternally damned? The stakes could not be higher: eternal life or eternal damnation. Now is the time to repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Make sure that you use The 666 Surveillance System brochure as it is a great witnessing tool. I also offer the Prophecy Packet which includes that 666 brochure. If you would like a copy, please email Dave at: [email protected] and ask for the packet along with giving your name and mailing address. This brochure is now available in Spanish. Now is the time to use prophetic information to share the gospel.
The following verses state what the Bible says happens to all who reject salvation through Jesus Christ, and receive the "Mark of the Beast":
Revelation 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

A representative from the world's leading volunteer organization devoted to the care, support and research of Alzheimer's disease visited the University of Mississippi Medical Center on Thursday to share updates from the association with local researchers and politicians.
But Dr. Heather Snyder, the Alzheimer's Association director of medical and scientific relations, didn't just pick UMMC from a map. Over the course of her organization's funding of research into disease, the state of Mississippi has received nearly $1 million with the majority going to UMMC.
"We've funded over $335 million in Alzheimer's and dementia science all around the world," said Snyder, speaking to staff of UMMC's MIND Center and representatives from the Mississippi Alzheimer's Association. Attendance also included representation from the offices of U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker and from the office of state Representative and Speaker of the House Philip Gunn.
Snyder said the overall funding of Alzheimer's research from all entities still pales in comparison to funding committed to researching other diseases.
"In the United States we spend about $500 million to $600 million on Alzheimer's," said Snyder. "Other diseases likes HIV/AIDS, we spend about $3 billion. Cardiovascular disease, over $5 billion. Cancer research, over $6 billion. And we have made significant progress on these and have turned the tides."
There are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today and some 15 million caretakers and family members that are helping those affected by the disease, she said. The economic toll associated with Alzheimer's topped over $150 billion last year.
"It's the sixth leading cause of death in the country," said Snyder. "It's the only cause of death in the top 10 that we currently don't have a way to stop or slow."
But Snyder told those assembled at the UMMC discussion that tides of Alzheimer's disease – much like cardiovascular disease, cancer and HIV/AIDS – can be turned.
"We work closely with the Alzheimer's Association locally, particularly in the areas of raising community awareness about Alzheimer's and related conditions and providing information and support to caregivers," said Dr. Thomas Mosley, director of the MIND Center and professor of geriatric medicine.
"We were delighted to host leadership from the national office to provide an update on global efforts to address the Alzheimer's epidemic, and also to have the opportunity to update the AA on our ongoing studies."
Mosley said he anticipates the relationship between the two organizations will become stronger as the Alzheimer's Association grows its efforts to share data from large studies such as those being conducted at the MIND Center to facilitate addressing complicated research questions that require very large samples of patients.
"We share a common goal to live in a world that is free of Alzheimer's disease," Mosley added.

The goal...a photo colleciton of beards and to journal the whole funky experience of hunting for them (bugging the shit out of them for a photo). Not the easiest task so there is a bit of humor attached. The book is now available on Amazon.com... http://tinyurl.com/7k88mg9

Atta Boy
Hey buddy! I'm not sure if this guy was high or not but he was the happiest homeless guy I've ever encountered. When I approached him he immediately stuck his hand out to shake mine...which I did...which was followed by running to the car for sanitizer. Sorry dude.
Beard #31 = 9 CCs. Nice beard, nice guy.
Three bucks goes a long way with some people.
I wonder if he has any hair under that hoodie.

Even if you have passed your growing phase you don't have to wait for years to add inches to your height. You can grow taller fast naturally through the right exercises, diet, rest and supplements.
To grow taller fast you will have to exercise harder than ever. This because the intensity of the workout has a directly proportional relation to the amount and frequency of human growth hormones secreted by the pituitary glands. This was established by a research study in the Journal of applied physiology. Anaerobic stretching exercises should be performed at high intensity for 20-30 minutes per day for growing tall fast.
Some special stretching exercises that workout many core muscles simultaneously make the frontal pituitary gland to secrete more growth hormone because of the greater effort. Weight resistant snap kicking, cross stretching, resistance jumping, swimming, field kicking, basketball and upside down hanging are also ideal exercises to grow taller fast. How Do You Grow Taller Faster
Balanced diet
A balanced diet rich in milk and dairy products that supply calcium for the bones is useful for growing tall faster. The diet must be low in carbohydrates and fat which hinder the secretion of the human growth hormones. Vitamins C and D pills help absorb calcium for bone growth and should be included as part of your diet.
Adequate sleep
The human growth hormone is secreted during the 4-5 hours succeeding the onset of sleep. So by sleeping for 8-9 hours daily you get to grow taller faster. Sleeping in an angular position helps grow naturally using the power of gravity. For this sleep with the foot of your bed raised about 4 inches off the ground.
Growth pills are available in the market to suit different age groups like teenagers and adults. They can help you gain as much as 3 inches in 3 months to 30 days. That sure is fast. They contain ingredients that boost the growth hormones. However before buying growth pills make sure they don't have harmful side effects. Your doctor can help you in this regard by recommending the safest brand of growth pills in the market.
These steps will help you attain height gain faster than you can imagine. How Do You Grow Taller Faster

Public Ledger's Transparency Yields Mixed Effects for Bitcoin Casinos
The essence of the blockchain is for everyone to oversee every single transaction within the Bitcoin network, thereby creating a system that provides transparency. By this, it means that even the betting transactions made on the Bitcoin casino market, regardless of the size of the wager, are available for anyone's eyes to see.
A quick visit on Blockchain.info's block explorer reveals the list of Bitcoin transactions updated in real-time. Most often than not, it is likely for anyone to catch a few bets placed in popular casinos and gambling sites like SatoshiBONES and LuckyBit, along with other Bitcoin mining platforms.
However, this transparency can work for and against these online businesses, and this is a fact businesses in the Bitcoin ecosystem must accept.
- More presence on the ledger means more activity. If a Bitcoin casino appears repeatedly on the blockchain, either receiving or sending bitcoins, this means that it actually receives attention, traffic, and following from a number of players who can be coming from different parts of the world. Popularity is one of the key factors of success, and being popular is related to the frequency of Bitcoin transactions between the operator and its players.
- Listed Bitcoin casinos make tracking of transactions easier. While it is unlikely for any player to track on a regular day with no reason at all every transaction to and from the wallet address of the casino, this proves to be useful, especially at times of scam allegations. The final destination of the suspected stolen bitcoins can be traced, and this is all because of the transparency provided by the public ledger.
- Too much transparency opens for possible threats. No matter how great the technology is, it can still be used for illicit activities when used by ill-motived individuals or organizations. In this context, hackers may illegally access the hot wallet of a listed betting site and steal the funds of the players. This should be of primary concern since compromised wallets are one of the reasons mostly used by operators to justify a site's unprecedented exit from the market.
- Online gambling emphasizes strong presence in Bitcoin economy. Nothing can deny that players enjoy betting on the Bitcoin casino games, which explains how this industry is recognized as a strong player in the growth of the Bitcoin economy. This presence on the blockchain only stresses its unceasing role in the success of the cryptocurrency.
The transparency exuded by the public ledger may put a Bitcoin casino or gambling site in danger when its name is shown, but it also presents the image of the Bitcoin casino market as a dynamic business that not only provide players with entertainment and operators with profits, but also as among those that lead the campaign for Bitcoin to be in the mainstream.

I know I haven't been staying on top of things as far as Project Runway goes this season, but there's a reason for that. I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Season eleven's twist was that every challenge would be a team challenge. Even to me it sounded like a fashion fiasco waiting to happen. Though they proved me wrong.
Most of the contestants were pleasant to one another, though a few too bossy and demanding. Yet I managed to pick a few favorites from the herd. The finals are coming up quickly and thus far it's been narrowed down to the final four. I'm pretty sure from previews though, that only three will really get to show at fashion week.
Let's take a closer look shall we...
|Season 11 Designers
Being focused on teams meant that this season the designers had to work together. So part of their scores were based on how well they worked with one another. It also meant that if you're design was amazing but your teammate wound up on the bottom, you too were on the bottom and could possibly be going home. The blade bites both ways, a few bad designs got saved by the better work of their teammates.
The weak for the most part got weeded out early on. Though I was still sad to see a few go because they amused me. Like Joe. He was well, quirky. He wasn't afraid to sport his Freddy Kruger sweater and the man has an etsy page that would do Moreen Ponderosa proud. Yes the man sells cat sweaters. The judges questioned his taste, which I don't blame them, but still it was nice to see a different point of view.
But on to the designers we're still seeing more from.
|Daniel Esquivel
From almost the beginning I want to root for Daniel, simply because he seemed like a nice guy. He even seemed to really mean it. Now I know it's TV and you have to take every thing with a grain of salt any more, but throughout the show he has remained consistently a nice guy. He's had few tantrums yes, but they all have. Now his designs are usually very chic, though a bit dated. He usually designs for a slightly older woman, but they are always very clean. At times, however, his taste level has gone up and down and it's noticeable. Having a teammate to edit him has been a good thing and that plus his abilities have gotten him to the final four. I was so happy he made it and absolutely loved the look he made after his day trip to Berlin. The dress is my favorite part, but I would totally wear the jacket with jeans any day.
|Michelle Lesniak
Michelle took me a little while to warm up to, cause well... she was kinda bitchy. She's still a bit prickly but I really like her work. It's a little harder and more punk rock then the rest of the designers. I like designers with a little edge to them. She has usually had strong designs throughout the competition, but kept winding up on the losing team. Once the teams go smaller, she started to shine a bit more and finally won a few challenges. Michelle actually was almost eliminated two weeks ago, but the judges saw her potential and gave her a do or die second chance. While her fellow designers were each getting day trips to various European cities, she had to stay in New York for her inspiration. It paid off though and got her to the final four.
|Stanley Hudson
Stanley is a bit bossy, but he knows what he's doing when it comes to sewing, so I guess we can forgive him. His designs tend to be modern plays on looks from the 50's. His looks are always clean and polished and he's obviously earned the respect of his fellow designers. I like his work, but it's not really my style. He's an obvious choice for the win but I'm still hoping one of the others will out shine him. He got the opportunity to go to London for his last challenge and he was drawn to the darkness in the windows of Big Ben as it climbed into the sky. I thought his design was a little dull but the judges ate it up. Go figure.
|Patricia Michaels
Finally we have our wild card. Patricia is amazing with creating textiles. She's a Native American and always bring a little touch of her culture to her work. She's make some pretty out there designs but it's that unexpectedness that's gotten her this far. She was sent to Paris for her inspiration on the last challenge, but the judges were not impressed with her out come. Heidi fought for her though, arguing that she had a fresh point of view that none of them had seen yet. So she's found her way into the final four as well. Can she pull out another miracle and go to fashion week? We'll find out in a couple of days.
So far the season over all has been good. The team experiment added a new level to the game and though it pushed some designers it also allowed other to have crutches to help them along the way. In the long run though it all comes down to the judges opinions. I'll still be rooting for Daniel or Michelle to win though.

The newly-appointed leader of the U.N. investigation into allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria said last week that the preparations for the probe have begun.
Åke Sellström, the Swedish scientist in charge of the investigation, said the mission could begin within the next week or two. Sellström was appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to lead the U.N. fact finding mission after a formal request by the Syrian government.
"The mission will happen in a week's time or so," Sellström said. "It's a matter of days. There's a lot of preparatory work. Then we also have to rely on the security situation to allow us to do the mission."
The investigation will initially focus on an incident involving the alleged use of chemical weapons in the Kfar Dael region of Syria. When Ban announced the investigation, he noted there were other allegations made by the Syrian opposition of similar cases involving the use of chemical weapons.
After preparatory work on the mission is complete, the mission will consist of three or four days of inspections and two to three weeks of report writing and chemical analysis.
Martin Nesirky, a U.N. spokesperson, said the investigation has a very specific purpose.
"It is not the role of this mission to apportion responsibility or blame," Nesirky said. "It's not a criminal investigation. It's looking at whether chemical weapons were used, and not by whom."

Gather round everyone I want to tell you a story. It's the story of The Finest Christmas Dinner in the World by Francis Schroeder.
...About ten o'clock on Christmas Eve, some five or six middle aged men, one or two of whom walked with canes, would cross the court and climb the narrow oak stairs to the green door with the brass knocker that marked Mr. Cockburn's flat. (pronounced Coburn) In later years they generally brought a few younger men with them...
There would be a clean cloth and a miniature Christmas tree on the gate-leg table. A decanter of sherry and some biscuits on the sideboard, and some sprigs of holly tucked behind the framed engraving of Lord Blackstone. There was always a coal fire in the grate and the brass work gleemed like gold. Mr. Cockburn's dinner jacket was a bit greenish at the elbows, but he bustled about hospitably.
The young men warmed their tails at the fire, sipped the sherry, and generally longed acutely for a really dry martini, ice cold, at the Savoy. The older men talked about the weather, and good old Stanley Baldwin, until Mr. Cockburn produced a chafing dish, polished as brightly as the fender, and some rounds of toasted French bread, and served the following dish:
3 cups boiled rice
1-8oz. can American salmon
4 med. onions, chopped
2 small German cervelat sausages, sliced thin
1/2 wineglass brandy
1 tbs. butter
1 cup water
salt, pepper, dry mustard to taste
Mr. Cockburn dressed the chafing dish carefully, then simmered the whole thing until it was the consistency of a thick stew, and served it to his guests on the toasted bread.
The young men approached this mess manfully, and as they ate, they heard a story. It was always the same story, and it came in snatches first from one, and then from another of the older men. It was the story of the Christmas Truce of 1916
That story has since been told and printed many times. It happened along the Somme, scene of some of the bitterest trench warfare of the entire war. The week before Christmas the interminable rains seemed to stop. The weather was cold, but clear. The wind, as usual was from the East, blowing from Germany toward France.
Nobody knows just how it started. Some say it was the sound of some Bavarian troops singing Christmas carols on the fire step. Others say it was a single foolhardy soldier who climbed on the parapet with his arms full of cigarettes. At all events, suddenly like wildfire it spread up and down the lines.
Laughing, shouting, men went over the top barehanded, to meet at the wire and help each other through. For mile after mile the flicker of lighting matches gleamed like fireflies the length of No Man's Land. There was considerable clinking of canteen cups. For a little while it seemed as though the High Commands would have to give up the war.
Gerald Cockburn was 40 even then, a messenger attached to the Royal Engineers. He happened to be in the front lines on Christmas Eve delivering some sealed orders to a company commander, when the Christmas Truce caught up with him.
"What's all the bloody row?" said the young Captain looking up from his dugout table, and the next thing they were both in the thick of it. Gerald Cockburn found himself squatting on the edge of a shell hole with his back against a willow stump. A morose Irish corporal was scouring the inside of a trench helmet carefully balancing it on a fire built on a tin can. A pimply faced German boy was excitedly waving a string of sausages. Somebody had a bottle of brandy, somebody else had a handful of rice. Cockburn remembered four onions in his greatcoat pocket, and there was plenty of bread. When the stew was half ready, a passer-by proffered a tin of plum and apple jam, but the German objected to this violently and he was supported.
The Christmas Truce didn't last long, of course. In two or three hours word got back that the war was getting out of hand, and from miles back, on both sides, the heavy howitzers opened up. It never happened again, and we're fighting a very different kind of German today. Still Mr. Cockburn and his friends continued to hold their Christmas party, and tell the story of the Christmas Truce over again, remaining heavily humorous about the manufacture of their special stew. The young men generally finished their plates and enjoyed it. For there was another spirit beside the brandy in Mr. Cockburn's dinner, the spirit of Christmas.
This article was found in the December 1943 issue of American Cookery Magazine; editor Imogene Wolcott. The year stated in the article is 1916 but I have to wonder whether this was a typo as the year cited in most internet articles is 1914.Resources

Seven years of study by psychologists in the Stress and Coping Section at the Gerontology Research Center, Baltimore, part of the National Institute on Aging, indicate no evidence of age-related personality change.
In other words, there is no scientific reason to believe that older men and women become cranky, withdrawn or antisocial.
Except for the threat of illness, elderly people in general face less stress than younger people, according to the research. And it concluded that most elderly people have mature and effective ways of coping with stress, such as exercise, humor, religion and restraint in activities perceived as stressful.

Thieves Like Us is a 1974 film directed by Robert Altman and starring Keith Carradine and Shelley Duvall. The film was based on the novel Thieves Like Us by Edward Anderson, which was also the source material for the 1949 film They Live by Night, directed by Nicholas Ray. The supporting cast includes Louise Fletcher and Tom Skerritt.
The film was entered into the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Plot summary
Bowie, a youthful convicted murderer, and bank robbers Chicamaw and T-Dub escape from a Mississippi chain gang in the 1930s. They hole up with a gas station attendant and continue robbing banks.
Bowie, who is injured in an auto accident, takes refuge with the daughter of the gas station attendant, Keechie. They become romantically involved but their relationship is strained by Bowie's refusal to turn his back on crime.
Chicamaw is eventually recaptured and T-Dub is killed while waiting in his car for his wife. Bowie poses as a sheriff's deputy to spring Chickamaw from jail. But he quickly becomes disgusted with the violent, raving Chicamaw and abandons him on the side of the road.
The Texas Rangers catch up with Bowie, who is betrayed by a motel keeper. He meets a violent end. Keechie carries on, pregnant with Bowie's baby. (In Anderson's novel, she too is killed by the Texas Rangers.)
- Keith Carradine as Bowie
- Shelley Duvall as Keechie
- John Schuck as Chicamaw
- Bert Remsen as T-Dub
- Louise Fletcher as Mattie
- Tom Skerritt as Dee Mobley
Production notes
This film has no traditional score. All music in the film is diegetic music or "source music," usually presented as coming from a radio.
The film features a large number of small-town people as extras, including Lloyd Jones, an actual Mississippi State Highway Patrolman.[citation needed]
Earlier film version
Thieves Like Us differs from They Live By Night by being filmed largely on location in Mississippi, while the earlier movie was filmed primarily in a studio. The Bowie and Keechie characters in Thieves Like Us do not get married, and Bowie's innocence is not asserted as aggressively as in They Live By Night.

Unlike Will, I have been struggling to find a beer this week I could class as 'my beer of the day' but then, just like buses, three have come along at once.
The first is from Allgates of Wigan, a brewery we do not see too much of on our side of the Pennines but a brewery I know well and respect from my trips over into Manchester. They brew a mixture of beers but generally concentrate on the light or the dark beers both of which they do well, (sounds like another local brewery doesn't it !). Anyway, their 'California' was on the bar in the Rat & Ratchet and very good it was too - named after a mine in their home town, I believe, rather than the American state. It is was a light, hoppy, refreshing session beer, just right for a warm summer's day, which unfortunately it wasn't when I drank it. Nevertheless, it was a fine beer and one that made you want a second pint.
The second beer comes from a new brewery this year. Raw from Staveley in Derbyshire are slowly building a reputation for making interesting beer and the 'Hop Rush Pale Ale' on the bar in The Star does exactly what it says. It is 4.8%, so packs a bit of a punch but the use of the hops in the beer are excellent. They give a massive bitter mouthfeel and follow it up with a dryness that gives it balance. There is little or no sweetness in the beer and although there is obviously some malt in the background it does not detract from the hop rush. Another excellent effort.
To finish you off, literally if you are not careful, comes the Church End 'Summer Terother'. Those who know Church End, who used to be a common brewery in these parts but are getting harder to find, will know their reputation for making fine beer. Sometimes they can be accused of being a little too adventurous in their ingredients but not this time. What they have brewed is a light, fruity little number which is dangerously drinkable. Why dangerous ? Well 7% is a little over the usual strength for a beer and this does not drink anywhere near that strength. It starts with a pleasantly balanced bitterness, and then the fruitiness takes over. Despite it's strength there is none of the vinous or alcoholic background I associate with beers of this gravity. It's just very good and an excellent beer to have a quick half of at the end of a session. It made the perfect end to a disappointing week.

so I was at my local pet store pickin up an eastern newt when I looked in the drain and I saw a lizard. I picked her up and dusted her off and asked what it is , they said it was a house gecko, a common pest there and asked if I wanted it for free. I graciously accepted it and now she lives in a nice ten gallon, any advice.

Hello, sorry for the delay, haven't been on this forum for a while. House geckos are very simple to care for, just give it a basic woodland setup with a few plants for climbing and some flat rocks or pieces of bark to hide under, and of course make sure you have a snug fitting screen lid because like most geckos they are escape artists extraordinare. They tend to sleep during the day in their favorite hiding places and come out at night to hunt; they will eat any kind of small insects but small crickets will work fine. In order not to have to make so many trips to the pet shop for more crickets, you may want to set up a colony of them in a plastic bucket or file box with ventilation holes in the top, egg crates for them to hide in and a supply of flake fish food for them to feed on, as well as a very shallow water bowl filled nearly to the brim with pebbles to prevent the crickets from drowning.

It's not the best sign when you start slacking with your blog less than six posts into it, but I swear I have a decent enough reason. See, in the span of a week I was handling a national fencing title and trying not to die.
That might have been a bit dramatic. The first part was true. Last weekend, I was in Indianapolis covering the NCAA Fencing Championships for Notre Dame, the school I work for. We were not only hosting the thing, but we ended up winning it, so I went from busy to bogged down. It was an incredibly cool experience, despite my lack of fencing knowledge, but I barely had time to breathe.
Not that I could anyway. On Friday, I got hit with what was possibly the flu, or at least the worst cold of my life. Now, if you're not familiar with fencing — I mean, who is? — the NCAA tournament is four FULL days of competition. I spent three of them blowing my nose and chugging water. The fact that I was logging an average of 12 hours of work per day did me no favors.
Being a part of the title run was quite the rush, though, even though it made my job about five times more stressful. As the event's host school, I was in charge of media coordination for the tournament on top of covering my own school's exploits. Thankfully, I had a coworker on hand to help.
Here's a little taste of what I was responsible for once it became clear we were going to win:
- Work with on-site videographer to get footage of clinching point.
- Immediate recap on website once title was clinched.
- Coordinate with social media and graphics team to shore up social media message once title is in hand.
- Begin coordinating a celebratory return to campus that night.
- Set up media availability for that night and the following day for local outlets to cover the championship.
- Write event overview for entire championships (not just ND).
- Update photo galleries on website.
- Distribute final results to participating schools.
- Conduct post-event interviews with coach and three student-athletes.
- Millions of minute tasks throughout the day.
All while unable to breathe out of my right nostril.
Pretty proud moment. Plus, I get a pretty sweet ring.
By Monday, though, I hit the wall. I stayed home from work the next two days except to facilitate media availability. I FaceTimed with Kyle, who told me I looked terrible and clarified today that "it was scary seeing you that pale white." My dad, who came over to drop off DayQuil (what a guy), told me I looked like shit. It was really a confidence-boosting day, Monday.
Somehow, I miraculously managed to start Whole30 on Monday, though not having much of an appetite helped. Today is Day 3, and apart from the occasional pang for a crusty piece of bread, it's gone quite smoothly. Maybe starting Whole30 while deathly ill is the answer to an easy transition. We'll see how Day 4 goes.

Will Wade on LSU job: 'An opportunity I have been working for my entire career'
LSU has its man in former VCU coach Will Wade. And if his initial statement in the hours following the news becoming official is any indication, he may be in Baton Rouge for sometime to come.
In an official statement released by LSU on Tuesday, the 34 year old made the following introductory statement:
"My many years at VCU were some of the best years of my life and I will never forget the opportunities that university afforded me," said Wade. "But the chance to build on the tradition and talent at a place like LSU was an opportunity I have been working for my entire career."
LSU athletic director Joe Alleva also offered his first official statement acknowledging the hire:
"Will Wade is a smart, energetic, and skilled individual," Alleva said, per the release. "He will provide great leadership for our student-athletes. The future of the program is bright."
Wade brings a great reputation to LSU, winning 51 games in two years as the VCU head coach after replacing Shaka Smart. He also won 40 games in two season as the head coach at Chattanooga, which was his first head coaching job.
There may be some hard feelings at VCU since Wade, who was a VCU assistant prior to becoming a head coach, departed after just two years on the job. But his statement makes it quite clear that his intentions were to leave that job eventually at some point.

Architecture Co-op's design approach is structured around a process of discovery. We aim to uncover the personality of each project, revealing its unique principles and opportunities which then form the heart of our approach. With this as our starting point, we work with the detailed requirements of the client to form an integrated strategic plan which directs the creative design process. In this way our design process is founded on a rigorous assessment of relevant conditions and the client's vision which underpins a particular project. We aim to deliver buildings and environments which resonate with both a sense of place and the identity of the client.
Architecture Co-op has a design identity that is current, light and open. We work towards creating spaces that connect people with the surrounding environment - in both built and natural landscapes.
Simultaneously we strive to create a sense of place, belonging and of shelter. Our hands-on approach begins with a strong research and development phase including the input of a range of specialist consultants who assess and evaluate the relevant demands of a project, all of which serve to inform the project vision. Innovation in the selection and integration of sustainable technologies, services and materials forms part of our design ethos. The crafting of the total built environment brings together planning, architecture, landscaping, interior design and purpose-made details into a rich crafted conceptual whole.
Architecture Co-op is committed to engaging with principles of global sustainability. As design professionals we welcome this call for change and look for ways to integrate the principles of sustainability into our work. In this way we aim to strike a balance between local identity, diversity and global ecological imperatives. We use the concept of touching the earth lightly to guide our proposals, thus creating buildings that minimise the ecological impact of development and yet enhance its social and economic value. This low-impact approach is accompanied by our ongoing research into the use of renewable natural resources and energy, environmental control systems and natural materials in order to create a sustainable, contemporary architecture.
Collaboration and building close meaningful relationships is key to the success of all projects. Each project requires a group of people which includes clients, professionals, specialist contractors, and authorities. We assist in building an appropriate professional team to deliver the project as a whole. Part of our role is to co-ordinate the input of this team and to identify and engage with all relevant interest groups. Our strong communication drive and established network of specialists means we have become adept at putting the right people together to suit the needs of our clients and the particular demands of their projects.

Why we Love Paris in August
by Lisa
August in Paris is the only time of the year where you really feel like you have the City of Light all to yourself. The Parisians pack up their bikinis, kids, and dogs, and head to the countryside or down south to the beach. Many restauranteurs and most boulangeries close up for the month, leaving a few select choices for us to enjoy, ultimately making our decision of where to eat out next much easier! Some people are reluctant to spend their summer holiday in Paris during August, and we can understand why people may feel that. However, for our last post of the summer before August vacations, we are going to give you several reasons of why we believe August is the best time to visit the beautiful capital and convince you that it is actually the most special time of the year to be here.
1. Tranquility
August is the time of year where the Parisians flee to their summer houses, and take their families away for vacances, which means that Paris becomes a haven of tranquility and relaxation. The streets feel much calmer, you have all the space in the world to choose your picnic spot in the parks, and roads are clear for you to velib your way throughout the city. You will not find yourself stuck in traffic, or squished up against the commuters in the metro, but rather, have enough space to sit, breathe, and travel across the city in peace. The general pace of the city slows down, and people continue to enjoy their long lunches at the local corner bistro, walks by the river, and aperos en terrasse after finishing work early.
2. Heatwave
August is often the best of the summer months in Paris and although this year we've been lucky enough to have a canicule already, we are hoping it will continue throughout August. When there are fewer people riding the metro, and picnicking at the park, and you're not fighting your way through the sweaty crowds, the heat is actually very welcomed. The blue skies act as the perfect backdrop to the city, and the holiday-like weather means you do not have to leave the city to get your tanning fix! Some of our favourite spots to enjoy the Paris sunshine are at the Parc des Buttes Chaumont with a good book, or canal side at the Bassin de la Villette where you can drink from one of the many bars lining the water, or play pétanque on the reserved pitches.
3. Outdoor cinema (otherwise known as Cinema en Plein Air)
A warm summers evening, a bottle of wine & snacks at the ready, and a great film to watch with your friends or your lover, what more could you want? Every summer from the end of July, throughout August, Parc de la Villette turns into an outdoor movie theatre. A different movie is screened each night from Thursday – Sunday, including French films, American blockbusters, and a selection of international movies from around the world. Check out the full program here, and be sure to arrive in good time to nab the best spot to set your self up for the night! Our top choice for this month is Les Noces Rebelles, showing on Friday 11th August.
4. Paris is still open
For those who say that everything shuts down in Paris in August, you are truly mistaken. It may be true that some of the higher-end neo-bistros, independent boutiques, and artisanal markets close down for summer break, but there are still some great local bistros, flea markets, and coffee shops that remain open for service. You could even end up discovering new little gems that you wouldn't have had the patience, or the time, to visit before. You are also much more likely to grab a spot outside where you can enjoy a glass of rosé, at any time of the day (which is another great thing about August!), and watch the world go by.
Side note : this is also the month to shop along rue Rivoli, and at the Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, as you'll have most of the shops to yourself!
5. Parisian Summer Events
At this time of the year there are a lot of "pop up" summer events that are happening throughout the city, and some of them are even free! Most notably the famous Paris Plage, which takes over the bank of the Seine and the Canal and transforms into a mini beach, where you can almost imagine looking into the sea whilst sipping on a cocktail (almost!). One of our favourites is the Été du Canal, along the Canal d'Ourq, where there are many summer activities to choose from, including ; renting boats, swimming, dancing, playing pétanque, and much more. If dancing is your thing, then head down to the banks of the Porte Saint Bernard and join in with the dancing which changes style every evening! Otherwise, try out the newest hot spot for foodies, music lovers, and sun seekers at La Javelle.
